Sorry to contradict the previous reviewer, whose review convinced us to have dinner here, but it was very disappointing. They have a gluten 'friendly' menu but according to our waiter even the GF pasta is actually gluten reduced! The only thing he said I could have was a grilled chicken breast and some broccoli, without promising cross contamination. The chicken seemed boiled and too tough to finish, the broccoli practically raw. Was it the fault of the rather rude waiter, a new cook? I can't say, but I do not recommend this restaurant for a celiac. The 'normal' food served was appreciated by those I was with, but I won't go back.

Consistently delicious and safe! I've never had a problem with gluten at any Old Spaghetti Factory location.

I was really disappointed by the service, the gal who seated us said I had to go to the front desk to get a gluten free menu, it is already on the menu... Then, it specifically says that cross contamination may occur. Fortunately I don't have celiac's so I just gambled that I would feel ok. So far so good. Service was terrible and I would not recommend if you have celiac's!

I've been going here since I was a little girl. The food is always awesome. I'm so glad I won't miss out now that my son and I are gluten free. :-)

Amazing pasta! Easily the best pasta I've had since going gluten free. The service was awesome too! Going to start eating here more often.

We had a very enjoyable dinner and experience. Jasmine was knowledgeable, attentive and so kind. Salad, pasta and chicken were all gluten-free! Ask for gf menu.

The food was just ok, but the staff seemed knowledgeable, and my food did arrive with a “gluten friendly” marker.

You wouldn’t think a place called the spaghetti factory would have a gluten free menu, but they do.

Plenty of options to choose from.

Definitely not gluten free. The food comes out tagged “gluten friendly”, but it definitely contains gluten or has cross contamination.

I ordered the gluten free Alfredo and salad. I was okay after eating the salad, but once I got partially through the pasta, I felt like I wanted to throw up. I did share with the server I had Celiac Disease and she confirmed that they could accommodate and it was made separately. It tasted like they used the pasta water for the Alfredo sauce. I do not recommend this to anyone even if you call and ask which I did.
